[oak arch]

https://tenor.com/view/my-chemical-romance-helena-gerard-way-mychemicalromance-gerardway-gif-9405619938534858530

[sour crater]

I think I have to go with Glowing Eyes on this one, Anathema is a great song but it doesn’t make me feel the same emotions right now as Glowing Eyes does 😭

[vapid iron]

Me when no anathema

[oak arch]

they should do an mcr song battle

[oak arch]

REAL

[green wigeon]

I've noticed there are lots of be concerned haters out there 😠😠

[autumn elk]

i kinda enter in to rooms of depression ‼️🗣️

[barren oriole]

PLEASE DONT TAKE ANATHEMA AWAY FROM ME

[vapid iron]

In the mcr server yeah

[dire kelp]

anathema clears

[oak arch]

theres a wat : )

[gentle creek]

I'm just here for the vibes. Don't mind me.

[leaden cosmos]

won't you go to someone else's sleep

[turbid mountain]

this ones hard

[half pawn]

I don't wanna choose

They're both my favorites

[zinc void]

Glowing Eyes any day, love Anathema but Glowing Eyes is the most nostalgic of the two for me because it was lucky enough to be on the vessel bonus tracks, didn’t have a chance to listen to RAB until later

[light laurel]

Yeah the glowing eyes relevance is pulling me that direction but anathema ❤️

[leaden cosmos]

just choose anathema for meeee

[vapid iron]

https://tenor.com/view/daeth-funi-periflight-dies-from-gif-22212023

But sadly the mcr server isn't doing song battles

[dreamy dew]

anathema you can do it

[vapid iron]

I LOVE ANATHEMA

[rain pawn]

i think anathema was innovative but poorly produced; i cant hardly hear the rap verse (i still love the song dont get me wrong)

[night valley]

Anathema

[feral lodge]

Glowing Eyes easy

[leaden cosmos]

hint: listen to blasphemy

[faint oracle]

lost image privileges 💔

[runic rain]

Glowing eyes for syre

[leaden cosmos]

[rain pawn]

also yeah, glowing eyes nostalgia

[vapid iron]

I START TO PART TWO HALVES OF MY HEART IN THE DARK AND I

[leaden cosmos]

DON'T KNOW WHERE I SHOULD GO AND THE TEARS AND THE FEARS BEGIN TO MULTIPLY

[granite robin]

ooooo

hard one but i have to go for anathema

[rain pawn]

ive actually never listened to npi!!

[leaden cosmos]

https://media.tenor.com/7NL8QR6JdZMAAAAM/epic-embed-fail-ryan-gosling.gif

[leaden cosmos]

well that's embarrassing

[lethal harness]

tuff one

[vapid iron]

TAKING TIME IN A SIMPLE PLACE IN MY BED WHERE MY HEAD RESTS IN A PILLOW CASE

[faint oracle]

i guess we can't embed gifs either

[lethal harness]

[faint oracle]

ts sucks bro

[leaden cosmos]

YOU NEED TOO

[leaden cosmos]

see idk if you noticed or not... but that's what i was trying to send

[leaden cosmos]

(skipping ahead bc im lazy)

EMPTY SKY NO WAY THAT'S ME CUZ ONE HALF OF MY HEART IS FREE

[chilly badge]

Rip glowing eyes, my favorite rab song

[rain pawn]

producing aside i do like the sound of the rap in anathema better than npi just listened to blasphemy

[sour crater]

Absolutely essential, especially when you listen to some of them and realize Tyler reused some of the rap parts in a ton of other songs (Drown/Fall Away, Blasphemy/Anathema, Just like Yesterday/Ode to Sleep)

[verbal iris]

?

[leaden cosmos]

i feel like the quieter rap fits blasphemy and the louder version fits anathema.

[faint oracle]

[verbal iris]

🍻

[faint oracle]

🇩

[sour crater]

Even though the lyrics are the same, they’re completely different verses imo

[sour crater]

[leaden cosmos]

🇬 🇮 🅾️ 🇳 🇱 🇹 🇸 🇹

[faint oracle]

🍑

[leaden cosmos]

🇺

[gloomy ferry]

M YEYES AREGL OWING

[leaden cosmos]

wannabe blurry 😭

[faint oracle]

[zinc void]

🇮 🧀

[leaden cosmos]

yeah, one is a bridge/end and the other an actual verse. very different with the rest of the song as context

[rain pawn]

honestly for me its the beat/background music, the beat definitely is like a repetitive basic rap beat vs anathema has the synth and more experimental sound behind it

[faint oracle]

[rain pawn]

ill have to force myself to listen to npi i think; its defo talented young musicians first album and theres value in that just based of blasphemy its very much figuring out the footing which can be hard to listen to but the hindsight will help me get through

[sour crater]

Not just that but like in how it contributes to how the song feels, in Blasphemy it contributes to the buildup and flows really nicely to the chorus but in Anathema it’s what being built up to and it’s the payoff

[leaden cosmos]

🇾

[green bramble]

Glowing Eyes clears here

not even close

[sour crater]

Yeah, some of it does sound super obvious that he recorded it at 18 in his parents basement or even on Just Like Yesterday at some family gathering or something in his living room but it’s still super good

Unfortunately most versions forget about Going Down which I think is really disappointing because i loooooove Going Down (pause)

[faint oracle]

🇾

[verbal iris]

🇹🇽 🇮

🚕

[rain pawn]

but with this newfound context of npi influencing rab; it may not be a glowing eyes vote for me ill be doing some studying :3

[dreamy cradle]

[leaden cosmos]

who listened to anathema and thought it was boring at first but later on realized it was the best RAB exclusive

bc thats me lol

[tawny knot]

It’s my fav tøp song overall :3333

It’s my top track too

[dreamy cradle]

I do love anathema but glowing eyes lowk has a place in my heart because it reminds me of me and my sister

[tropic iris]

Dude how it's blacked out on every Spotify playlist

[granite nebula]

[tawny knot]

DMs :3333

[faint cove]

Anathema sweeeeeep

[vapid iron]

I will die before i vote glowing eyes

[marsh shore]

Both good songs, so i will go with Glowing Eyes.

[woeful jewel]

i love both😭 i voted anathema tho. they are probably both in my top 3 from rab

[light laurel]

[vapid iron]

https://tenor.com/view/anathema-geometry-dash-geometry-dash-whizkid-gif-5930785971705701930

[silent trail]

anathema because it shot me 57 times in the chest

[woeful jewel]

that rap in anathema is just too good

[silent trail]

glowing eyes makes me feel safe. anathema decided to punch me in the gut

[vapid iron]

But a good punch

Its like a uppercut but from a kitten

[silent trail]

Yes. It hurt but I wanted to relisten, just like with Redecorate (also awesome tbhc tag)

[gaunt token]

Pffff

I can’t choose

They’re good in different ways

[vapid iron]

Thank you

I love Arctic monkeys

And redecorate is my 3rd favorite TØP song

[bitter crater]

the only thing i really dislike about Anathema is it just ends so abrubtly

[gaunt token]

W

Redecorate is my favorite tøp song 💪

[silent trail]

It's like when people get violent but it's weak attempts from someone who's just so broken they don't know how else to deal with the pain. They're just so distraught

[bitter crater]

Glowing Eyes Chorus is so good i don't think i can pick anathema. but its pretty damn equal

[silent trail]

I think it's even better because it just leaves you with that pain

[vapid iron]

1. Neon gravestones
2. Isle of flightless birds
3. Redecorate
4. Taxi cab
5. Anathema

I like ballads

[silent trail]

Honestly great lineup, my original top 5 was chlorine, redecorate, bandito, jumpsuit and shy away

[visual flare]

Anathema

[bitter crater]

1. Bandito
2. Morph
3. Leave The City
4. Taxi Cab
5. Glowing Eyes

[vapid iron]

Wait

I forgot taxi cab

[crimson oracle]

bandito and leave the city in the top 5 🔥

[vapid iron]

Replace morph

There we go

[silent trail]

I should get Neon Gravestones somewhere on the list, maybe replace jumpsuit

[bitter crater]

i want to take that ranking test again but updated with Clancy and Breach songs

[silent trail]

I didn't even know there was a test like that omg

[bitter crater]

if i reveal my least favorites i will be ripped to shreds 😂

[vapid iron]

[vapid iron]

[woven beacon]

[gaunt token]

Felt

[neon vault]

I think glowing eyes will win, no?

[woven beacon]

oh hey you must be my age then\

[vapid iron]

I like bugs

[bitter crater]

found it:
https://midwestindigoenjoyer.github.io/top-bias-sorter/

[vapid iron]

And anathema

[grave igloo]

this is very even but anathema has a cooler name

[woven beacon]

class of 24,25,26, or 27?

[cinder bear]

NO THIS IS NOT EASY

[gaunt token]

25 supremacy

[sour crater]

Class of 25

[woven beacon]

so real

graduated last month

[gaunt token]

fuck yeah

[sour crater]

Same lmao, June 14

[silent trail]

if anathema loses i'll...be okay with that because glowing eyes is an amazing track too, though i personally prefer anathema.

[woven beacon]

9th for me !!

[gaunt token]

June 4th 🔥

[woven beacon]

we're all 5 days apart LOL

[gaunt token]

Pffff

[grave igloo]

i also love the "so won't you say goodnight, so i can say goodbye?"

[gaunt token]

ME TOO

[vapid iron]

If you dont vote anathema you hate bugs

[silent trail]

what if i hate bugs but love anathema

[gaunt token]

haven’t you taken enough from me breaks me

[silent trail]

LITERALLY THAT PART

[vapid iron]

Wont accept it

U have to like both

[grave igloo]

trueeee

[silent trail]

aw shucks

[grave igloo]

anathema is better but i still love them both

[bitter crater]

i think Friend Please is fine but i don't have an emotional connection to it and its not a song thats vague enough where i can apply it to something else

[gaunt token]

I have an unhealthy connection to friend please

To all tøp songs actually

[neon vault]

That’s fair the song isn’t as relatable to some people ig but I have this friend who had mental health issues so I have bias towards friend please

[gaunt token]

I fear I may just

Not vote

[bitter crater]

Air Catchers chorus is good but i don't love the autotune use and again i have to reiterate that just because its low doesn't mean its bad. there are just ones i much prefer to listen to. except Run and Go, that one is just straight up bad i think

[gaunt token]

Air catcher alt version supremacy

[sour crater]

They should 100% put that on streaming services

[gaunt token]

FR

[cedar gulch]

Oh god I can’t choose

[gaunt token]

ITS SO MUCH BETTER (imo)

[vapid iron]

Im gonna listen to both

[robust basalt]

easy anathema

[gaunt token]

I just listened to both again and it made it harder to choose

[loud comet]

i love glowing eyes but the personal meaning of anathema is so good so i have to vote anathema

[neon vault]

Anathema similar to ode to sleep imo

[supple spade]

GLOWINF EYES

G

[neat mural]

I'm going for glowing eyes but this is a really tough oneee

[verbal iris]

🇹 🇾

Grab the baby

Do it

[supple spade]

Wtf

[carmine bay]

DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN MY CHILDREN

the tattoo i've been designing literally incorporates both of these songs 😭

[sour crater]

I couldn’t explain to you how but you’re right

[sour crater]

That sounds sick

[loud comet]

they both have verses from npi

[sour crater]

True but i think they meant like vibe wise

[loud comet]

thats true also

[faint oracle]

20 minutes wasted

[real tapir]

I literally don’t know

😭

Probably glowing eyes?

THIS IS HARD

[earnest wagon]

oh fuck

first hard round

[real tapir]

I still kinda wish Be Concerned made it further along 🥹

[earnest wagon]

its glowing eyes for me but i wish it wasnt put against anathema 💔

[lean aspen]

this hurts but it's anathema

[potent sigil]

i love glowing eyes

[faint oracle]

anathemer

[potent sigil]

we all know somebody who knows somebody who is doing great

[gloomy rock]

glowing eyes is so good, no question. anathema is…. well… not so good

[potent sigil]

anathema is great

but glowing eyes

i love

[gloomy rock]

anathema is so nt great

[faint oracle]

🇸 🇹

[gloomy rock]

guys yu gotta vote glowing eyes it’s so good

[potent sigil]

LMAO

[faint oracle]

fourteen

[gloomy rock]

🇸 🇸

[verbal bloom]

anathema sweep

[potent sigil]

anathema is very very good

[gloomy rock]

STOP

[earnest wagon]

i voted glowing eyes but i wont be mad if anathema wins

[gloomy rock]

ANATHEMA IS NOT GOOD

[potent sigil]

i prefer glowing eyes but cant say that anathema is a bad song

[potent sigil]

same

[gloomy rock]

eh i guess idk

[faint oracle]

g

[knotty phoenix]

the only changed one is lovely, perhaps you only notice an increase in quality but the songs overall are untouched with the sole exception of lovely

[dry coral]

No trees is changed cuz of the auto tune, car radio has different vocals

The only unchanged one is kitchen sink

[faint oracle]

trees is very different

it has a whole new section

[dry coral]

if u count the new vocals as changes

[faint oracle]

and forest

[dry coral]

Hmm

[earnest wagon]

forest wasn’t changed

[faint oracle]

i know

14

[knotty phoenix]

i mean the vessel bonus tracks, of course the remasters that were on vessel would be changed, all of them. i'm talking about the remaining rab songs from the vinyl

[faint oracle]

14

please

[prisma hazel]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 14!

[faint oracle]

RaedfhhuygggddrzRDRTYU

[eager igloo]

oh this one is painful

[halcyon hedge]

MY BABYYYY GLOWING EYESSSS

PLEASE

[calm ermine]

Glowing eyes for me, I love anathema as well 😭

[ripe zinc]

BUT DO I WANT TO SAY GOODBYE TO ALL THE GLOWING EYES

No actually i dont so bye bye Anathema

[median blaze]

haven't you taken enough from me

[mighty valley]

you got me fucked up this is the first hard one with rab

all the songs that were then put on vessel from this album aren't as good as the vessel version so I just didn't choose those but these both are fire

[knotty phoenix]

yeah that's the thing

[verbal bloom]

yep...

[knotty phoenix]

the rab songs that got picked for vessel are objectively the weakest (not only because they are but because having better versions just lower points to them). the songs that didn't get picked for vessel are top 10 best and most legendary songs of all time

so essentially this is where things get heavier

[wanton birch]

this is criminal...

[thorn steppe]

josh dun sang anathema once in 2011 sorry guys

i have to vote anathema

[thorn steppe]

literally. Tyler didn't make a bonus track of Ruby because there was nothing to fix. All the tracks that didn't get picked were already perfect. Don't fix what isnt broken

[thorn steppe]

i dont really care because fortunately for me josh dun DID sing anathema in 2011 so it automatically gets my vote. Yes im falling for the josh dun propaganda yes it was absolutely gorgeous and yes anathema is taking my vote

[gloomy rock]

WHAT WHEN!?

it won’t make me change my vote as glowing eyes is one of my favourite songs but if you have a link i’d love to hear it omg

[thorn steppe]

https://youtu.be/nVvtvJETitk?si=0S3vzPv2yQgykstN

[thorn steppe]

im falling for the josh dun propaganda

[feral lodge]

If you really want to fall for the propaganda, then you can pretend he’s the one singing in Glowing Eyes too

[gloomy rock]

josh didn’t sing 😭

[gloomy rock]

yeah

hehe

but also the end verse is the same as blasphemy i neevr noticed

[obsidian totem]

Glowing eyes must win

[oblique lagoon]

Impossible pick

[wary oracle]

HAVEN'T YOU TAKEN ENOUGH FROM ME???

[gilded river]

GLOWING EYES HAS TO WIN

[fast geode]

Hey guys vote anathema

I think

[obsidian totem]

I’m going with Glowing Eyes

But I wouldn’t be disappointed if either of them win

[half pawn]

Im going with anathema just cause

I can't actually decide

But anathema is too good

[signal nest]

anathema

[gloomy rock]

YES

[gloomy rock]

nooooo

[gloomy rock]

no pls glowing eyes

[fast geode]

Glowing eyes is amazing but anathema has the won’t you torture someone else’s head

[gloomy rock]

i love the drums in glowing eyes icl not only is it a good song and fun to play on drums

[gloomy rock]

😭🙏

but glowing eyes parallel to the contract 🥺🥺

[fast geode]

The again, the ladidada in glowing eyes

[gloomy rock]

YES

[fast geode]

It is parallel to the contract tbf

[gloomy rock]

LADADADA LADADADADA LADADADA LADADADADA

:33

[fast geode]

Hmm, you’re really starting to turn my favor

[gloomy rock]

just go and listen to glowing eyes rn

remember how good it is

[fast geode]

I actually listens to all of RAB this morning, I remember how good both it and anathema are

[gloomy rock]

its such an eatable song 😭

[gloomy rock]

yay

[fast geode]

It is delicious

[gloomy rock]

anathema has the verse from blasphemy but i just like how glowing eyes sounds and the lyrics and everything yk

and the ladadadada

and the drums

hehe

just everything 💔

[fast geode]

I really love glowing eyes, but I’m probably still gonna vote anathema bc I know everyone else is voting glowing eyes, also I’m a sucker for twenty one pilots songs about sleep

[gloomy rock]

most people i’ve seen are voting anathema :0

maybe i’m wrong

[fast geode]

Oh I was judging by most people i meet would vote glowing eyes

I thought it was a fan favorite

[gloomy rock]

“we live for the nights decor” what what does that actually mean

[fast geode]

Like ya know

[gloomy rock]

i always thought the words were gonna be “we live for the nights RETURN” for some reason and i get bummed when it isn’t haha

idek why

but then again why would he want the night to return yk

[fast geode]

This is true

[half pawn]

The darkness. The darkness reveals our thoughts

Thats how I see it at least

[fast geode]

Well, the whole song of glowing eyes seems to be about not wanting to feel better because feeling bad is what you’re used to, and all the eyes (us) sing along, so living for the night decor to me represents that feeling of being bound to your negative thoughts

[knotty phoenix]

that's the reason, probably, the songs he chose were coincidentally the weakest songs, so he probably wanted to give them justice. i would argue he also wanted to keep them as they were precious to him but he has mentioned that all of the songs are equally important to him, so most likely he just wanted to re-produce the songs that didn't quite work with a better quality in an actual studio for the upcoming album vessel

[heavy lintel]

Glowing eyes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁❤️

when Tyler's singing the verse before it goes crazy and it repeats "WONT YOU GO TO SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAMS???? WONT YOU GO TO SOMEONE ELSE'S HEADDDD??? HAVENT YOU TAKENNN ENOUGH FROM MEEEE???? WONT YOU TORTURE SOMEONE ELSE'S SLEEEP???" he sings that part

[exotic abyss]

[tawny knot]

[carmine bay]

i start to part two halves of my heart in the dark and i

[tawny knot]

I start to part 2 halves of my buh in the dark and I

[zealous violet]

to be fair i couldn’t hear from that video either 🙂‍↕️

[tawny knot]

Don’t know where I should buh and the tears and the gurts begin to multiply

Taking time in a simple place in my buh with my head rested on a pillow case

And they said that a buh’s led

Buh I forget that I let another day go by

I wanna buh afraid

But it seems that these days I’m caught underbuher and I’m buhhing farther my hearts getting buhher I’m calling my Father

Am I buhhing into an empty sky

Empty buh no way that’s me cause one half of my buh is free
Empty buh no way that’s me cause the other half of my buh’s asleep

[carmine bay]

Sing a song buh don’t believe

[tawny knot]

buhsphemy is just for me

[carmine bay]

hybuhcrite take your pick

[tawny knot]

[tawny knot]

“Anathema - Live at New Albany High School”

[sour crater]

[whole lake]

Glowing eyes

[sour crater]

IT IS

OK IK WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT

[fervent rain]

Glowing Eyes got me back into tøp in high school, I love it way too much. I’m sorry Anathema 💔

[sullen oak]

oh fuck

[thorn steppe]

i HAVW to pick anathema because of josh vocals

[thorn steppe]

he was quiet and the quality is bad

[thorn steppe]

https://youtu.be/bhD3F4n43CE?si=lzvhUHSN75rmYKa2 heres a better video of it

[thorn steppe]

yes

[sour crater]

Oh yeah I’ve seen this plenty of times

[thorn steppe]

im completely falling for the josh dun propaganda

if theres a josh dun line, a version where there's a josh dun line (no chances), or a live version were josh SINGS... im voting it

im sorry if its the judge vs goner again

im voting it

[edgy hedge]

hot take but glowing eyes is their best song pre blurry face, better than every vessel song

i think it's just aged the best, solid production, great lyrics, and doesn't have the weird rap verses some rab songs have (i love tyler's rapping but it's safe to say he's improved a ton since those days)

[zealous violet]

thank you!!

[sour crater]

I would vote Saturday over something else solely because of the MV

[barren kestrel]

anathema my beloved i had to vote for it 😔🙏

[bleak horizon]

OH THIS IS HARD

[thorn steppe]
